I recently made this lovely bag, and at first, I was concerned about the leather, but ultimately I read some research about Top Grain leather and understood the process of how they treat the leather used in this project. This kit is lovely to make, not too difficult for a beginner and the end result is fantastic. The bag style is elegant and casual at the same time. I love mine, it is going to be a classic piece for my wardrobe, and I want to order more to make now! Highly recommend it if you are crafty, love sewing and handbags and don’t mind a challenge! The fact I made my own bag is so satisfying and I’m so proud!
Got this as a gift for my fiance's step sister. She is excited to do it.
Good quality leather. Snaps are pretty loose
Overall, I like this purse. The leather quality is nice and I could even smell the leather while I was sewing it. The reason I don't give it a perfect score is the fact that it doesn't have a lining and I can see the contrasting Stitching inside the bag, and because of that it doesn't seem finished to me.
I originally ordered it in grey but was told it wasn't available so I went with the brown. The customer service was helpful and accomodating. It was also nice they gave me a free keychain! The brown is a nice color but maybe I will order the grey in the future. The leather looks of good quality. I am planning to make one for my sister as a gift.
